With Verendus saying there will be bigger SE/Sony news at E3 than FFXV, and that it has to do with the 'future' (not remakes), what do you guys think it could be?

He said Sony isn't buying Square, so this is all I can think of:

-A partnership that comprises of joint SE/Sony developed games
-The next main Dragon Quest game is PS4 exclusive
-A new exclusive IP that is more impressive than FFXV

Anything I could be missing?

Most likely the Joint venture between Sony and SE...it's no secret that both saw the height of their success when they were in bed together. It seems Sony is trying to recapture that magic..first by appealing to the Gamer first and worrying about the casual consumer after (as It should be) as they did with the PS1 and PS2. I found that early on the PS3 was seen more of a Blu-Ray player than an actual games console.

Sony seems to have learned this time around that they can't let the PS3 go almost 1.5years without its Killer App. It needs that out the gate .

To bad. I mean u can think what u want from SquareEnix but their (White?) Engine is some of the prettiest Engine i have ever seen on the PS3 so far. FF13 and FF13-2 looks absolutely stunning and has a solid 30 FPS at anytime. Now if the games would not suck so much we would have a true masterpiece and could look more optimistic to FFXV.

1. That would be big enough to qualify as bigger news.
2. That would only be bigger news in Japan, where Dragon Quest seems to reign supreme.
3. Too vague and unlikely. What does Square have that's bigger than an FF installment worldwide? Other than...FF16! muahahaha.

Oh God, I hope they never listen to the people who want Final Fantasy to be another Hack'N'Slash title. This is a turnbased JRPG!

I feel the future of the franchise needs to be completely seamless. Any kind of turn-based battle-system will prevent that goal.

With that said, I also don't want a game that has you mashing the X button the entire game. Seamless games can still have many strategic elements, such as using different abilities/attacks/items/etc, on the fly, as well as being able to switch characters that have unique uses.

And that's exactly what Versus' battle system would have been like. However, I understand the Kingdom Hearts games tend to end up as button mashers, or at least Kingdom Hearts II. So S-E would obviously need to make strategy more of a focal point.

I love Dragon Quest games and enjoyed Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2, so seeing Dragon Quest XI possibly make its way to a PlayStation platform would be pretty sweet. I'd even settle for a PS Vita exclusive.

KH BBS apparently has the best and most strategic battle system in KH series to date. I haven't played it yet (still waiting for HD ps3/vita release) so yeah action rpg =/= button mashers

(As for Superman. He is simply put, the greatest, and most recognizable fictional character of all time. In any medium. Superman is closer to comparison to Santa Claus than anyone else. #reality )

Whoa, brother, I won't argue against him being the most recognizable, but greatest? That ain't how you spell Jean Val Jean. And I don't mean the pussified broadway musical version that gets people crying over conveniently sappy songs, I mean the one inside the 1,000 page behemoth from Victor Hugo who began as a scoundrel and wrestled with God and the Devil and the nature of man itself to become the badass who is revered in pussified broadway musicals today.
